It's certainly possible that linux-based IDE's have come along since I last played around with them (probably 5 years ago now), but I don't get the impression that the configure scripts/makefiles etc. for lilypond were generated by an IDE, or wouldFrom: Thomas Bushnell BSG <address@hidden> To: "Wiz Aus" <address@hidden> CC: address@hidden, address@hidden Subject: Re: Illegal C++ Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 12:55:40 -0700 "Wiz Aus" <address@hidden> writes: > miss the many admittedly powerful tools that are available under linux.> But never yet have I felt the slightly bit compelled to choose to develop> under that platform.

be readable by one. They look pretty well hand-crafted to me. To be honest, even if I liked linux as an OS better than Windows overall(which I don't - they both have their merits and their weaknesses), I would still choose to work under Windows because too many of the applications that I have a vested interest in (e.g. due to proprietry document formats) are only available there. And given that I work under Windows, I'm not prepared to switch to another OS
every time I want to do development - especially because I'm perfectly happy developing under Windows.Windows is perfectly capable of supporting all the development tools I can ever imagine needing, so there's absolutely no reason that compiling and debugging lilypond under Windows should be at all difficult - providing that the existing
development team don't labour with a "who cares about people who don'tuse gnu/linux anyway" mindset. Given I don't see much chance of that changing, my enthusiasm level for being part of lilypond development is struggling somewhat.
